Hi. HR is an error code which is related to the memory card. It doesn't have exact meaning (as far as I know, its not in the manual and website).

There are several possibilities why you are getting this error. It could be corrupted memory card, damaged pin, loose connection between the memory card and camera, dirty contacts, camera is not giving enough power to memory card, etc...

Some fixes that may work:- Make sure your battery is fully charged.- Remove memory card and put it back making sure the connection is not loose.

I have the same problem....after searching some say get new card (I did) some say reformat (I have), some say clean pins (I would try this but don't know how) SO if you get any answers I would appreciate it. The only temporary solution that I have found is to Re-format (thus losing pics) or to simply pull the card out and put back in.

Greetings,It is actually an error message generated by your compact flash and means that the card is no longer readable. A lot of D70 owners have reported this error without being able to find another solution other than reinserting the card or changing the card to a different brand. In my D70s I use Sandisk Extreme III memory and, knock on wood, have not yet had this error. You could also try cleaning out the memory card slot and check to see that all pins are aligned and not bent. Good Luck,-WN

It means you need to format your compact flash card. Or...it may be that you've been bitten by the infamous BGLD problem (Blinking Green Light of Death) that caused my D70 to eventually be replaced by Nikon. Thankfully it was under warranty at the point, which yours will not be.
If you haven't ever formatted your card, this is probably the problem. To do so, just hold the two buttons that say "for" in red on them down for a second so that the letters "FOR" start to blink, then do it again while seeing that. Let go and wait a couple of seconds. The FOR will be replaced by numbers that tell you how many images you have left on the card until it is full. I format my cards EVERY time I put a card back in the camera. This prevents bad locations from cropping up on the card and creating bad images (corrupt).
